    Slow motion reverse flow 300 gal.

    Hey sometimes a misconception yields valuable information. I looked back over your build Bubbonehead and you made your unit seriously heavy duty! with the 1/2" RF plate, gives a massive heat sink, and I like the controls you incorporated into your smoker. I was thinking about putting a damper at...

    Slow motion reverse flow 300 gal.

    Thanks Dave. I hadn't taken that into account. I am going to cut the 1/4" angle loose and lower it to just above the heat shield. That will give me a little more room for the grill area. By your calculations would this also mean that I should make the spaces at either end of the RF plate...

    Slow motion reverse flow 300 gal.

    This is what is great about this site. Everybody coming up with real  viable alternatives. Thanks you guys. If I understand you Bubonehead, you're talking about tapering the heat shield only and there I think you're right on to what I'm trying to do, Right? Jarjarchef with the grease traps are...

    Slow motion reverse flow 300 gal.

    I came up with another issue that is specific to center fired RFs. I tapered the drain angle on the RF plate on Dragon's Breath as I had seen others do but I believe that is what makes my smoker cooler on one end than the other. This time I am positioning the RF plate level with the smoker. As I...

    Slow motion reverse flow 300 gal.

    I've been dragging my feet but I'm ready to get on with this build. I sanded the old paint off the door and painted it. Progress! I also hole sawed out some 1/2" flat bar for the firebox door latch. I have a couple of topics of discussion that I'm interested in some feedback. First the...

    Welding question: Rolled steel to stainless?

    Well I'm just adding to what's already been said. LanceR is right about 309 stainless rod. It's made specifically for stainless to mild steel welding. I welded my hitch - stainless tubing to mild steel flat bar and towed my smoker over a thousand miles one trip no problem. There is a lot of...

    Done with the smoker

    Very nice design! and I see you have it all under control. I really like the way you combined the smoker grill functions. I'm thinking along similar lines. Nice rig and paint job. Keep the picts coming. Dave

    Salmon fishing

    Hey you guys, this was so easy and came out so good. Rub the fish liberally with garlic butter spread inside and out, season with Johnny Seasoning, and fill interior with sliced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, red onion, and orange. I used rib racks upside down to hold the fish. I let the...

    Hey there fellow pit builders

    How are you doing dfbourg? I have a 10 ga. roll and think it's better to roll the flanges. I get a little particular about it but once the door fits well to the tube, chamber, the flanges will help maintain the radius of the door because 2 pieces of metal welded together won't want to stretch...
